This
profile is Epson's canned profile for the Epson 1200 printer.

Plotted
with the working space set to sRGB.

Plotted
with the working space set to Apple RGB.

There are at least three things that strike me as interesting
about this profile:
- The profile is very smooth with no sudden bends that will otherwise cause
banding. All profiles should have this characteristic, and if they don't it
may be regarded as a defect.
- I suspect the native gamma of Epson printers more closely resembles that
of the Macintosh, hence the brightening relative to my sRGB working color
space. Indeed, I changed my working space to Apple RGB, and the curve was
much flatter.
- The red line is slightly above green, and the blue is slightly below the
green. This is probably an attempt to err on the side of a slightly warm,
somewhat orange, image. In general, Epsons do indeed print with a slightly
reddish cast on systems that are misconfigured for double profiling.
